The link that Mike Field has posted for "The Faded Page" takes you to a Canadian website. Under Canadian copyright law books published before 1968 are out of copyright IN CANADA. They are not out of copyright elsewhere in the world.

The site has a warning "These books are public domain in Canada (because we follow the Canadian copyright laws), but if you are in another country, you should satisfy yourself that you are not breaking the copyright laws of your own country by downloading them."

All Things Ransome and TarBoard are not domiciled in Canada and we work very hard to ensure that we do not infringe on anyone's copyright. Therefore we do not want anyone to believe that we support illegal downloading of material.
